Rich Tullis Weekly Leicester City Blog

Another away trip beckons for the Foxes faithful. This weekend sees the team make the trip north to visit the Oakwell Stadium. Saturday will be the 106 occasion between the teams, the two clubs have a history which dates back to September 1898. So 113 years later and the two teams are still going strong. The teams have played each other in the Premier League, The Championship, Division 1, Division 2 (old), The FA Cup as well as the English Zenith Data Systems Cup.
Although we are in a new season, Leicester played Barnsley only 7 months ago in the closing stages of the 2010/2011 football season. Leicester were at home and won 4-1 with goals coming from Paul Gallagher (15) Andy King (43, 58) and Kyle Naughton (89). Now a new season is upon us and this season’s team is certainly different from last seasons. This Saturday should hopefully see the first outing for Jermaine Beckford, Leicester’s final acquisition of the transfer window.
So how do the two teams line up statistically?
Leicester have a good record against the Tykes whether they are playing at The King Power Stadium or Oakwell. Leicester have an impressive tally of 50 wins (all competitions) against Barnsley. The Tykes themselves have only just managed to amass a win total of 24 against Leicester (all competitions). Over the years there have been 31 draws.
Barnsley last victory over Leicester came on Tuesday 26th January 2010, a single 77th minute goal from Hugo Colace ensured victory. That victory for Barnsley at Oakwell took their home victories against the Foxes to 16 games, in comparison Leicester have won 19 times when playing the Tykes on their own patch. The single Goal from Colace just gave
Barnsley the edge with goals scored at Oakwell. To date Barnsley have scored 66 goals past Leicester when at home. Leicester is only one goal behind on 65
The highest aggregate of goals between the two clubs is 7. This was on 2nd October 1991 in the English Zenith Data Systems Cup. Leicester beat Barnsley 4-3 Aet.
The highest Leicester score currently sits at 6 goals. This came on Saturday 16th November 1946 when at home Leicester won 6-0.
In comparison Barnsley highest goals scored is only 3. This was Tuesday 17th September 1991; Barnsley at home beat Leicester 3-1.

Head to Head at Oakwell
A total of 52 games at Oakwell,
Leicester has won 19 of the 52 matches. Barnsley has won 16. There have been 17 draws.
Leicester has scored 65 goals giving a goal per game of 1.25 compared to Barnsley’s 66 goals with an average of 1.27 goals per game.
The bookmakers certainly have Leicester as the favourite this weekend. At the time of writing the odds are:
A Barnsley win is 13/5
A Draw is 5/2 and a Foxes victory is an unbelievable 1/1.

Jermaine Paul Alexander Beckford ...

Jermaine Paul Alexander Beckford By Rich Tullis

So Leicester City made the final signing of the summer transfer window with the capture of a Mr Jermaine Beckford.
On 31 August 2011 Everton rejected a rumoured £3m bid from Leicester City but subsequently accepted a £2.5m bid late on the deadline day. Jermaine arrived at the King Power Stadium just 40 minutes before the transfer window closed to sign a 4-year contract. He became Sven's 12th summer signing.
Leicester signed the Premiership striker for £4 Million (£2.52M + Add ons reported). For an age all eyes were on Bristol City and their formidable striker, Nicky Maynard. It was evident that no matter how much money Leicester presented to Bristol their man was going nowhere.
So have Leicester obtained the 20 goal a season man they were so desperately seeking. After signing a 4 year deal and being contracted until 30/06/2015 Leicester City certainly seem to think they have the right man.
The Stats and Facts of Jermaine Beckford:
Jermaine is an out-and-out striker or if you prefer a centre forward. His first club was Wealdstone FC. From here he moved to Leeds United in 2006, he stayed with Leeds until 2010. In 2010 Everton took the striker to the Premiership where he remained until he was captured by the Foxes.
The one thing all Leicester fans were looking for was a goal scorer. As mentioned previously fans had hoped Nicky Maynard would have been that provider. For Everton Jermaine played a total of 40 games (all competitions) and scored 10 goals. This gave an average of 1 in 4. The overall Premiership average was 2.8 to 1. Jermaine’s career as a striker has enabled him to obtain a goal average of 1 in 1.91. In comparison Nicky Maynard has carved a career goal scoring average of 1 in 2.67.

Carl Ziemann's Weekly Port Vale Blog ...

The result of the JPT game at Tranmere was cruel, going out on penalties after conceeding an equaliser just 3 minutes from full time.

However the result and disapointment pales into comparision when looking at the terrible injury that has befallen Lewis Haldane. Jumping for a header he fell inoxuiously and suffered a double spiral leg fracture. A lengthy delay ensued and he left on a stretcher to a standing ovation from the home Tranmere fans, always a sign of a bad injury when home fans do that to a visiting player. Lewis has undegone one operation and will need another before he hits the recovery trail, my personal best wishes go out to Lewis who is a nice guy on & off the pitch and didnt deserve this bad luck having had a wretched season with injury last year.

The mounting injuries (Rigg, Loft, Haldane, Richards) has prompted Adams to delve into the transfer market and has signed what on paper could be a very astute signing....welcome to Andrew Little on loan from Glasgow Rangers, described as either a full back or striker he has SPL experience and has played for "norn 'iron" at international level. He should on paper make an impact on L2.

In light of our recent defensive woes id put him straight into the team, possibly as a right back given that we have looked suspect down the flanks thus far.

Wimbledon have had a tough start to season but will im confident improve during the season, this will be a stiff test for Vale and id be happy to see us return with a point and something to build on....its important we dont conceed early, if we do it could be another long afternoon like last week.

Prediction 1-1

Steve Robinson's Weekly Aston Villa Blog

The End of the Transfer Window – Aston Villa

 

Welcome to the first blog for Aston Villa! What a week it’s been for Aston Villa. Looking at the various forums about the internet it is unclear as to what villa supporters feel as a whole.  What I have found is that the one thing Villa fans can’t do is agree. Some are joyful of Makoun’s release and some feel it’s the loss of a great player. What follows is my interpretation of the week’s comings and goings – I’m not claiming to give a uniting opinion of the fans. That would seem an impossibility!

Let’s start with the Carling Cup game versus Hereford. This was the perfect opportunity for some of the previously underperforming players to stake a claim. This was also a chance for the fans to be thrilled by a classy performance against a team of a much lower quality. The first half was a complete disappointment. Bent received no service, Albrighton was marked out of the game and Villa seemed to have a one track mind and play it through the middle. Makoun and Ireland both started and was an opportunity to shine. In this game Makoun sealed his Villa fate. Poor passing and always a couple of steps behind the play. It was clear he wasn’t ready for the pressures of premier league football.

I have read some interesting blogs about Ireland’s performance and some said he showed the class he was capable of. I did not see this. He rarely tracked back into his own half. Chased nothing and his passes were often of a poor quality and not linking play but in fact ending it.  There were glimpses of brilliance but with as many wasted opportunities he had it was clear he is not yet back to the form we saw at Man City. One must hope that he finds this soon.  Bannan was the star and asked McLeish why he isn’t in the first team already (a perfect swap for the underperforming Petrov).

Delfouneso came on to try and spice things up and he did but the real starlet was Weimann who had pace and vision and always found some space to get into. I don’t know whether Delfouneso was blind to Weimann’s runs or simply ignored them but this lack of vision held Villa back. It was Weimann’s vision that set Delfouneso up and I wanted to see more of him. I hope that Weimann gets the action he craves at Watford and comes back ready for first team action!

So Makoun went – a good wage cut and Luke Young moved to QPR for a fee in the region of £2 million. A great shame to lose one of Villa’s regular performers but it was no secret that he wanted a move back to London and would have gone for free next summer. I never wanted him to leave but if he was going we may as well get some money for him. Hogg was the surprise exit for me but looking at it he is 22 and hadn’t really broken into challenging for the midfield place he craved. Yes he didn’t really get a chance but we may just have to trust McLeish’s decision here.

As deadline day approached Twitter was engulfed with speculation and the day proved fruitful for Villa. First of all – Enda Stevens. This was the “one for the future” that Mat Kendrick from the Birmingham Mail had been told to look out for. Whilst it is fair to say no one had heard of the lad the more research you do into him shows him to be a real promise and he is getting Europa League experience before he joins us. I believe a valuable acquisition at a bargain price.

Alan Hutton – it was of no surprise that we signed him. A Scotland International who has pace and power. Also a previous relationship with McLeish. At 26, with many years on his career, and undoubtedly on a lower wage than Luke Young I believe he can be a signing that will be a Villa regular and really support the defence and attack alike. The only negative is it puts back the progress of Chris Herd who had proved to be quite promising at these early stages of the season.

Finally – Jermaine Jenas. A quality midfielder who has found hard times but has previous England experience. Yes he has been rotting in Spurs’ reserves after injury. However, I don’t think it was his lack of quality keeping him out of Spurs side but that his style of play doesn’t fit that of Tottenham. McLeish is trying to bring variety to Villa’s play and as long as he can stay fit I believe that Jenas can be part of a change of culture and style at Villa Park.

Let’s see if these signings can make the difference.

Up the Villa!

Rick Smith's Manchester United Weekly Blog ...

Where's Wesley?

As soon as the euphoria died down from the 8-2 mauling of Arsenal one thing was on a lot of United fans minds, Wesley Sneijder.

In the end he didn't arrive, every fan wants a "marquee" signing and many were upset that this wasn't Sneijder.

But did we really need him?

Many argued that we can't win the Champions League without him, with Barcelona in a stage of domination at home and abroad many felt we needed a proven world class creative midfielder, something that has been lacking long before Paul Scholes retirement. But let's not forget the only team to beat us in Europe last year were Barca. No one else even got close.

I would of loved Sneijder to sign, he is truly world class and proven at Club and International level, he would of added something, there is no doubt about that, but the fact his he isn't coming, and probably never will. Signing him in January would make no sense as he would be cup tied in Europe and unless we have a disastrous campaign or our younger players don't progress how Sir Alex would like, I can't see us going back in for him. Anyway I think January's (if any) and next summers targets are already earmarked.

So we have to do what we've done so much in the past, look to within.

So let's look at the positives shall we?
The addition of Ashley Young is massive for us on the wing, and its already evident that he has slotted right in on the left. Nani is improving all the time and at the end of last season Anderson was starting to show signs of turning into an important player and not a squad one. Valencia was missing for most of the season and showed when he came back how important a player he can be for us. And let's not forget Rooneys' creative powers dropping in the hole, with him more likely to be partnered with Hernandez or Welbeck than with Berbatov.

And then we have Tom Cleverley, another source of debate by United fans on whether he can play to the standard we need to beat Barca, well I think its obvious the answer is no, not yet. But there's no doubt in my mind he will make it at United. But this is a big season for him, there's a lot of pressure to deliver but I don't think there's one Red I've heard from who thinks he can't handle it and progress to being the main man in United's midfield for years to come.

Let's just hope in May we'll all be saying "Wesley who?"
